Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm. An old problem, a new option
We describe the case of a 61 year-old female patient admitted to the hospital with acute lateral myocardial infarction, in pulmonary edema, who evolved to cardiogenic shock in the first hours. Transesophageal echodopplercardiogram and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging showed the diagnosis of a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm. Surgical repair was successfully undertaken.
